The card collection was evaluated at more than $20B in 2021 with an unprecedented growth in the last 36 months. A card value can range from $0.05 up to $6.6M. The old-school hobby market has shifted to an investment vehicle in recent years. To list a card online for sale, there are many steps involved: sorting the card by types, scanning of the front and the back, documenting the information of the card so it gets indexed to be searched by the potential buyers, searching online for the card value and then, the card can be listed online. Knowing that an average collector can have between 25,000 to 1M cards, if this step is not optimized efficiently, there is little chance for a collector to list all his cards online for sale, depriving him of potential revenues. In the last five years, Kronozio has worked on optimizing all those processes. The only one still not optimized yet is the card pricing. It is probably the most complex mechanism to build because 99% of the current techniques are based on web crawlers.
